Volume 1, Chapter 49: Beating Li Daochuan

In the hospital ward, although one of his legs had been broken, Li Daochuan was living a remarkably comfortable life.

Lying in the hospital bed, he had two alluring women waiting on him hand and foot, one on either side.

"Brother Chuan! Just what is the background of that newly arrived security captain? How could he possibly dare to break your foot?"

Leng Yue had originally intended to hand this difficult problem over to them, never expecting that this old fox would resort to playing the rascal with her.

"Thank you for the reminder, cousin. I will work hard." Wu Hua smiled warmly, though his eyes held no trace of a smile.

Hearing of such events, Leng Yue could only sigh at the capricious nature of fate, which had torn a pair of devoted lovers apart forever, separating them across the realms of the living and the dead.

Now, that she could set aside past grievances to save him was surely the absolute limit of what she could do. How could she possibly fall in love with him—the murderer who had taken the life of the person she loved most with his own hands? Therefore, whether now or in the future, they would never be able to bridge the chasm named Meng Xingchen. In this lifetime, they were destined to be apart without affinity.

Inside the city occupied by the Great Dian Kingdom, the total number of defending soldiers did not exceed two thousand. It could be said that as long as the Golden Phoenix Kingdom continued to send troops to attack the city, it would take no effort at all for the Golden Phoenix Kingdom to recapture it.

He Qisan had repeatedly brought up the matter of taking Mu Xi as his master, something she was already unwilling to do from the bottom of her heart. Even when Mu Xi was not present, he showed not the slightest intention of relenting, until Yu finally spoke up.

After standing at the entrance of the county magistrate's office for a while, Nie Rong's father also prepared to return home to share the news of Nie Rong's success in the highest imperial examinations with Nie Rong's mother.

As for him, he stood motionless at the doorway, locking eyes in complete silence with the emissary Liang Xi, who was likewise standing unmoving inside the room.

The initial experience left Liu Dongmei yearning for more, and the two of them tossed and turned until the late hours of the night before finally feeling satisfied. After washing their bodies, they fell asleep in each other's arms, while Wu Hua's hand remained resting upon that soft spot, unable to bear moving away.

Over a month later, Sun Jian's fleet had long since set sail with his troops on a distant voyage back home. The rotational troops, having undergone more than a month of recuperation and adaptive training, had preliminarily attained combat capability. Gao Yang once again launched a massive military offensive. This target was none other than the northern stronghold of Hatra.

With the conclusion of the first day's agenda, the mission of the Beijing Hospital Healthcare Group came to a temporary close. Today could be considered extremely fortunate as it was calm and uneventful; the third group, to which Zeng Yi belonged, encountered no issues whatsoever.

Zhang Heng froze for a moment, then immediately broke into a wry smile. No longer paying attention to what Xiao Honglü was saying, he simply walked out toward the room in a silent manner, while Ming Yanwei, seated behind him, continued to sit there and sneer incessantly.

Chen Zhonghua and Wang Aiming stepped out of the car with rather unsightly expressions. After alighting, the two of them said nothing at all, lowering their heads as they walked straight toward the building.

Naturally, unconditional support still entailed certain limitations. True unconditionality was impossible; they could only create the best possible conditions.

"Brother Mo, let's go eat first. After we finish eating, we can invest together," Yu Lifei said with a smile. It seemed Mo Zhenjun would not stop until he achieved his goal.

The joint effort of the Ten Great Emissaries to assault the seal of the Heaven-Connecting Divine Pillar, shatter the shackles of heaven and earth, and channel the laws of the Nine Heavens was their sacred mission. In this process, whoever contributed greater effort and achieved relatively higher merit would receive a greater share of the mandate of heaven's favor, and the continent they represented would likewise acquire a greater share of fortune.

Tens of thousands of troops, led by officers at all levels, urged their warhorses forward slowly. The dense and heavy sound of hooves striking the bluestone pavement created a tremendous roar like muffled thunder.

Speaking of which, many people within the province actually looked forward to Yang Yucheng taking charge of Northern Province. At the very least, during his tenure, everyone would not have to face the high-pressure rule of someone like Qi Mantian.
